Hands-on Learning

The business economics and finance curriculum is delivered using a variety of experiential learning methods in the classroom, including analysis of business cases, lectures and discussions. At SIUE, students are also presented with a variety of options to supplement their classroom learning with participation in co-curricular activities in local and international venues. Our students are encouraged to obtain professional experience through co-operative education, internships and other co-curricular activities prior to graduation.

Lifelong community citizenship and involvement is stressed through our business transitions courses, a required part of the curriculum for every undergraduate business major. Students who want to make the most of their undergraduate education have ample opportunities to do so by participating in experiences such as university-sponsored grant programs, student organizations, study abroad or Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URCA).
